Hatha Vidya-Preserving Yoga for Generations

*14-Step Surya Namaskar*

Different traditions and schools across the world follow variations of Surya Namaskar, including expanded sequences with additional steps and breathing patterns. Among these, the 14-step method offers a gentler and more balanced progression that is considered more suitable for the feminine body.

This variation provides greater attention to fluidity, stability, rhythmic breathing, and breath coordination throughout the sequence. The additional steps create a smoother and more synchronized flow, supporting a balanced and harmonious practice.

Like the 12-step method, the 14-step Surya Namaskar is also a modern adaptation rather than a classical yogic practice directly described in the ancient texts. However, due to its practical value and suitability for feminine energy, it has been included in the Hatha Vidya curriculum as a supportive dynamic practice.

At Hatha Vidya, the 14-step Surya Namaskar is taught to women as part of the regular practice sessions, ensuring that the movements and breathing are appropriately aligned with the needs of the practitioner.

*12-Step Surya Namaskar*

Surya Namaskar is one of the most popular forms of exercise practiced worldwide today. Although many people consider it a traditional part of Yoga, it is better understood as a dynamic exercise system that evolved in India and later spread across the world. While the movements resemble yogic postures, they are not practiced in the same way as classical yogāsanas when observed closely. For this reason, Hatha Vidya has not traditionally included Surya Namaskar as a core part of its curriculum.

According to the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali,
*“Sthiram Sukham Asanam”* — an asana should be steady and comfortable. The continuously dynamic nature of Surya Namaskar does not fully align with this classical understanding of asana. Furthermore, no direct references to the modern 12-step Surya Namaskar sequence have been found in the traditional yogic scriptures.

However, considering its many health benefits and growing popular demand, these practices are taught as supportive dynamic exercises along with proper breath regulation for each movement. The 12-step Surya Namaskar is the most widely practiced version and is generally considered more suitable for the masculine body.
